Anda Twenty-Three did not realize at all that the search for the 28th Wing was just the beginning.
By the afternoon, not only the 28th Regiment was searched, but also the three infantry regiments that followed were also attacked.
After realizing that the main force of the Chinese army was hidden in the surrounding jungle, the 28th Division quickly organized its troops and launched several attacks.
The result was very regrettable.
The three infantry brigades that launched the attack ran around in the dense jungle all afternoon, but they did not find even a main force of the national army.
Small units of the national army, numbering a hundred people, are everywhere. They seize the opportunity to ambush the infantry reconnaissance teams sent by each regiment.
Although the losses of the Japanese army in each battle were not large, the number of casualties became a huge number when they were added up in the end.
By evening, Anda Twenty-san finally realized that they were in big trouble.
Throughout the day, the 28th Division, the vanguard of the 27th Army, only advanced less than five kilometers.
Not only that, the 28th Division also suffered more than a thousand casualties. Although most of these more than a thousand casualties were wounded, and the number of casualties was only less than half, this was even worse for the Japanese army. !
Because this means that the 27th Army needs to free up more manpower to protect and care for these wounded.

Central Railway, Pyinmana.
The headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army.
The Chief of Staff of the 25th Army, Kao Tanigina, handed a telegram to Ishihara Kanji and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the battle report just sent by the 27th Army."
Although Anda Twenty-three tried his best to break up with Ishihara Wanji, he still did not dare to hide anything about what happened to the 27th Army today, but reported the truth to the Burmese Front Army Headquarters.
This is like Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the Tenth Army during the Battle of Songhu, who ignored Matsui Iwane's orders, but still reported the battle situation that should be reported.
"More than a thousand imperial soldiers were killed or injured in just one day?" After reading the telegram, Ishihara Wanji's face immediately darkened, "And most of them were injured?"
Tanigi Nahuaxiong said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation of the 27th Army does not seem to be very good?"
"It's not just not that good, it's simply terrible." Ishihara smiled and added, "This is just the first day of fighting with the left-wing Chinese army!"
"Yes." Guodi Nahuaxiong said with deep understanding, "It's only the first day."
Ishihara smiled and said in a deep voice: "I seem to have foreseen the sad situation of the 27th Army being blocked by the Chinese Army on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River and unable to move forward."
Yoshina Kazuo said: "I really don't understand why Mr. Adachi insists on taking the Irrawaddy River route? There are clearly central railways and central highways that can provide mobility for the imperial army, but he has to go through the difficult tropical forests. This is Why? Is it really okay for him to exploit his weaknesses and avoid his strengths like this?"
Ishihara smiled and said in a deep voice: "Send another telegram to the 27th Army."
"Send another telegram?" Tanigina Kao asked, "Persuade Adachi-kun to give up his previous decision and turn east to meet us at the Central Railway?"
"Yes, that's it." Ishihara smiled and nodded.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "Commander, please excuse me for speaking out, Mr. Adachi will not listen."
"Whether he listens or not is his Anda Twenty-san's business, but whether he talks or not is my business, Ishihara." Ishihara Wan'er brought his low emotional intelligence to the extreme, waved his hand and said, "Tell him also, I will once again request a ruling from the base camp and ask the 27th Army to return to the Central Railway, and let it be issued like this."
"Hai." Tanodi and Hua Xiong could only obey.
¡¡
"idiot!"
Without exception, Adachi Twenty-san was furious to death after receiving the telegram from Ishihara Wanji.
"Ishihara, this idiot!" Adachi Twenty-three said to Chief of Staff Taro Nakayoshi with a dark face, "I really thought that among the many high-ranking generals in the empire, he was the only one who knew tactics!"
"Yes." Taro Nakayaga said, "He only saw the difficulty of going north along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, but he was blind and failed to see the tactical advantages of doing so."
"The jungle march is indeed very difficult, but it is difficult for the Imperial Army and it is equally difficult for the Chinese Army."
"At this time, the competition is about the will and quality of both sides. In this aspect, the Imperial Army is the best in the world. Even the powerful Soviet Red Army cannot be compared with the Imperial Army."
"In other words"It is said that in jungle warfare, the superiority of the imperial army's soldiers in spiritual will and individual quality can be fully utilized. This has been fully proved in the Philippine battlefield and the Borneo battlefield! However, Ishihara Wanji has always selectively refused to face it, which is really puzzling. "
"This is nothing to explain at all." Anda Twenty-three waved his hand and said, "It is absolutely impossible for this stubborn guy Ishihara to make changes and admit his lack of knowledge! So the only thing we can do now , which is to seize and defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side as soon as possible, and then quickly detour from Ren'anqiang to the Mandalay side to form an encirclement of the Chinese army!"
"At that time, we can tell Ishihara Wanji with hard facts that he is a fool!"
"Hai." Taro Nakayaga said with a sudden pause, "The facts will eventually prove that you are right, Commander, and I firmly believe that the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely agree with your opinions. Rather than working on the Central Railway and China It is far better for the main force to engage in a meaningless war of attrition than to send out surprise troops to bypass the Chinese army from Yan'an Qiang."
Anda Twenty-Three gently nodded and said: "Order, the 2nd Division is deployed from the right wing of the 28th Division, and then let them increase the scope of the search, no matter what, we must dig out the China Army rats in the jungle! "
"Hai." Taro Nakayaga paused and turned to give orders to the 2nd Division.

The route dispute between Ishihara Kanji and Adachi Twenty-san once again came to the attention of Hirohito.
Hirohito suddenly felt that Ishihara Kanji might be right, and urgently summoned Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Minister of Army Shunroku Hata, and Chief of Army General Staff Kanin Miyazaihito to the palace to discuss matters.
Of course Tojo Hideki firmly supports Adachi Twenty-Three.
Tojo Hideki said: "Your Majesty, the essence of the difference between Adachi-kun and Ishihara-kun is actually only one point. Is it to blindly rely on the superiority of troops and firepower to crush them from the central road? Or to detour from the flanks and implement a north-south pincer attack? I think anyone who knows a little bit about the art of war can know which one is better and which one is worse."
When Shunroku Hata heard this, he immediately shut his mouth.
Tojo Hideki has said so, what else can he say?
Kanin Palace Zai Rengui is a member of the royal family. Although he has a transcendent status, he is not willing to have a head-on conflict with Tojo Hideki, who has been in the limelight recently. He said calmly: "Then let Adachi Twenty-san give it a try for the time being." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
